Pinecone

The fresh scented oil distilled from pine needles has powerful antiseptic properties. Both the oil and an infusion of the needles are employed medicinally as decongestants to alleviate sinusitis, bronchitis and catarrh. Pinecones produce the kernels used in Mediterranean cookery. Pine trees grow wild in mountainous areas and are usually in light, sandy or rocky soils. Pines are also grown as ornamentals in parklands.

Twigs

Twigs always conjure up wonderful memories of woodland hikes in the autumn of the year. You can hear them snap and crackle underfoot and you just know squirrels are collecting them and carrying them high aloft to build their nests. Beavers too are felling trees and packing the gaps with mud and twigs and leaves. A broken branch to us is a home to them.
